Ok, fine. One of the best things in Vegas to do is to run to the Nine Fine Irishmen in NYNY, and listen to the regular band there, Sin É Rí-Ra. They play a lot of classics, but nothing gets the crown on their feet like this one. Th e Little Lion man cover is spectacular, actually, but you will have to go down and have a listen. It's totally worth the trip.
I couldn't find one of them playing that didn't sound like poop, so here is the Irish Descendents singing the Rattlin' Bog.
Such a fun time about Irish folk songs is that everyone sings and dances. It's infectious. Even people that I know that don't like music, love signing Irish folk songs in bars. They're fun, tell great stories, trip up your tongue, and get you to forget your troubles. Well, that may be the Guiness/Jameson, but they are gone none the less.
So, try to learn this one. The Rattlin Bog. There will be a test.
Cheers,
